Working Through Betrayalhttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/38702-working-through-betrayal
How do you recover from a betrayal?When you trust someone, you believe you can be vulnerable with them, that you are loved, protected, valued and safe. The expectation is that they have the same values, beliefs and integrity as you.

But, sometimes the person you trust violates that agreement. It’s powerful and painful. You’re never betrayed by someone you don’t know. Betrayal is intentional, with someone putting their needs above others’ while deviating from your expectations.

You have to go through the trauma to transform.

Listen as Dr. Debi Silber joins Dr. Holly Lucille to discuss how to heal after betrayal.

Encore Episode: How to Behave During Argumentshttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/38323-encore-episode-how-to-behave-during-arguments
Behave better during arguments by working on a few skills. Your compassion will grow.When your blood is boiling and you’re not going to take it any more, it’s tough to keep your behavior in check. Arguments knock all that common sense out the window.

A few guidelines can help you improve your behavior during disagreements.

It’s so important to take a moment before running off at the mouth. Stop, breathe and stay calm. You have to focus on what you hope to accomplish and why you’re disagreeing. How can you be most effective in resolving this argument?

You must be willing to listen. Don’t focus on just making the other person wrong. Process what he or she is saying instead of thinking about what you’re going to say next. It’s easy to get defensive and be offensive. Listening is key.

Think before you speak. Will your words come across as an attack? Be sure you speak with compassion.

Validate the other person’s feelings to show you’ve listened. Be sure he or she knows you care. Then, you can address any misunderstandings.

Are you fighting over insignificant things like burned toast? There are built up resentments from the past that haven’t been addressed. Look for what hasn’t been resolved before the toast was burned.

When both people are yelling, it’s time to disengage. You’re going to say things you don’t mean. You won’t get resolutions. Step away from the argument until you’re ready to seek a resolution.

You may consider doing a forgiveness inventory every night. What did you do today that was selfish, unloving, judgmental, inconsiderate and uncool? How do you want to be different tomorrow? You can start fresh in the morning and do better. You’ll also find more peace if you’re forgiving of others.

Producer and actress Kellie Martin shares her personal experience with autoimmune disorders.The incidence of autoimmune diseases has been on the rise. By increasing awareness, diagnosis and treatment can save lives.

Producer and actress Kellie Martin lost her younger sister to an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder. A virus, stress and undiagnosed lupus created the perfect storm, ending Heather’s young life.

No one likes yelling in the workplace! How can you resolve conflicts and get the job done without raised voices?We are all interdependent on one another. We have to treat each other like people in the workplace. Tasks are important, but people must work together to get the work done.

We want a happy workplace. People want acknowledgment for good work, purpose, a sense of belonging, appreciation, compassion and trust. Innovation and creativity flourish in this environment. Fear doesn’t help growth.

Aspects of Non-Violent Communication

What are you observing versus what are you evaluating? What exactly is happening is the observation. Imposed beliefs and assumptions are the evaluation. Own your applied evaluation. Your prejudices and ways of thinking may add unnecessary meaning to a situation. Maybe your co-worker didn’t say hello because he didn’t hear you, not because he is angry with you.

Recognize “us versus them” or “me versus you” in the workplace. All departments have their own agendas and handoffs aren’t always seamless. Interconnectedness is important. There’s an opportunity to improve morale and ease of communication.

Listen for the commitment behind the complaint. What are we committed to? Those commitments are common, shared needs. Problem solving can take place when we pay attention to the business goals we share.

Listen to Your Heart: Heart Health for Womenhttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/37576-listen-to-your-heart-heart-health-for-women
The time to work on your heart health is now.Eighty percent of heart disease is preventable. Yet, 90 percent of women have at least one risk factor.

Some risk factors are not modifiable. Your family history and age can’t be prevented or changed. Find out your genetic risk for heart disease. You can’t change either of these factors, but you can control other things.

Modifiable risk factors are the things you can change. These include:

Weight (obesity/overweight)

Diabetes (type-2)

High blood pressure

Abnormal cholesterol

Sedentary lifestyle

Anxiety/depression

Women also have special risk factors. Issues during pregnancy like gestational diabetes, hypertension, and high blood pressure have an impact later. Rheumatologic diseases increase risk for heart disease as well.

Week Two: Get moving. Increase your speed or distance when walking. Take the stairs when you can. Get 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week. Get up once an hour if you work at a desk.

Week Three: You are what you eat. Make smart choices when dining out. Prepare by handicapping the menu before you reach the restaurant. Create tasty, healthy foods at home.

Week Four: Form a great relationship with your doctor. You should be partners in health. Prepare for your visits. Ask for referrals from friends and families to find a doctor who works for you. Never be afraid to ask for a second opinion. Share the journey of heart health with your loved ones.

Week Five: Reduce your stress. Take some time to enjoy life. Stop bragging about how little sleep you get and start working on how to get more quality sleep. Lack of sleep is no longer a badge of honor. See your doctor if you aren't getting good sleep.

Week Six: Figure out how to turn these things into habits.

Improve your health to ward off and recover from cancer and other chronic illnesses.It’s important to empower cancer patients with ways to improve their own health. In fact, nutritional techniques can be applied to any chronic illness. Diet and lifestyle can impact resilience and recovery.

Your Terrain

Your body must have some damage that made it susceptible to cancer or chronic illness. Looking at the terrain of your life can help find areas to heal.

Epigenetics determine your genetic qualities before you are born. It is the blueprint for the “tree” you become in life. You can manipulate parts of your blueprint.

The microbiome is like the soil for your tree. It helps your tree grow so you need to feed it well. The mental and emotional aspects compose your trunk.

The trunk connects you to the soil. Traumas and adverse childhood events can impact your health in adulthood.

The ketogenic diet is high in fat and low in carbohydrates. Our bodies switch from burning glucose for fuel to producing and burning ketones. Cancer cells don’t have the same metabolic flexibility to run off ketones. Healthy fats like nuts, fish and avocados are staples of the ketogenic diet.

Cancer treatments like chemotherapy seem to be more successful when one follows the ketogenic diet.

Encore Episode: 3 Steps to Stopping Self Sabotagehttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/37078-encore-episode-3-steps-to-stopping-self-sabotage
You know you need to make a change but your attempts are met with failure. Are you sabotaging yourself?You know you need to make a change but your attempts are met with failure. Are you sabotaging yourself?

There are many resources available at your fingertips to help you achieve your goals.

You probably have a good idea of what you should be doing. You also likely have an idea of what you shouldn’t be doing.

But, you’re not making things happen for yourself. What gives?

You have to get out of your own way. Self sabotage is the drive toward negative things. You have to come to terms with that knowledge in order to overcome it.

While there are conscious things you’re doing to sabotage yourself, some acts are happening on an unconscious level. You don’t recognize those factors until after the fact.

Develop self awareness. Know that you want it. Notice what drives you toward negative behavior and away from your goals. You have to be aware of it to gain control over it. See if your behavior consistently leads to negative results.

Ending Self Sabotage

First, stop being frustrated with yourself. Don’t ask why you keep doing this. There’s no reason to marvel at it like it’s a surprise that you’re sabotaging yourself. To solve the problem of self sabotage, just look at what you’re doing.

Second, recognize you’re doing it. Find the part of yourself that wants to move toward the pro-survival goal.

Finally, work through the sabotaging behavior. Once you recognize what you do, it’s easier to spot.

Encore Episode: Environmental Influence on Chronic Illnesshttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/37077-encore-episode-environmental-influence-on-chronic-illness
How can you reduce your exposure to toxins?The average person encounters environmental toxins in every day life. It’s impossible to completely avoid them.

Our bodies are enzyme machines. We need vitamins and minerals for the enzymes to work properly. The nutritional quality of our food supply has decreased in the past 50 years due to modern agricultural procedures. Toxins poison the body’s enzymes so they don’t function properly.

There is a correlation between chronic illnesses and toxin exposure. The majority of the population has been exposed to enough toxins to double the chance for disease.

Seventy percent of our toxic load comes from food. Some toxins come from the food production process. Other toxins come from the packaging process.

Consider how toxins can accumulate in your body over time. Try to reduce your toxic exposure. Stick with organic foods and grow as much food as you can. Look for foods packaged in glass. Avoid fragrances in health and beauty aids.

Stop getting in the way of your own joy with complaints!Guess who is standing in the way of your happiness?

You can stop being a powerless complainer and start actively taking control over your own life. Complainers continuously fuss about a situation without doing something to solve the problem. You might love complaining in the moment, but people aren’t going to love listening to you over time.

Complaining might feel good in the moment but it isn’t great for your health. It raises your cortisol levels, increases anxiety, makes you feel stressed or depressed.

Besting What Annoys You

Discover your triggers. Figure out what sparks your inner complainer.

Interrupt the pattern of habitual and unconscious complaining. Do you complain as small talk or have gripe sessions with a certain group of people? Determine how to have the relationships you want without the complaining.

Recognize it’s a lifelong habit. The world will give you plenty of frustrations. Build your own personal, emotional resilience so you can recover more quickly when things go off the rails.

Complaints often stand in for other emotions. Think about what is prompting those complaints.

How is medicinal marijuana manufactured?In the changing landscape of cannabis legality, the growth of marijuana has become more industrialized.

There are over 100 different active chemical properties present in the cannabis plant. THC is the psychoactive chemical that can get people high. CBD is the chemical that can do wonders for physical conditions. Different parts of the plants are used for different conditions.

Facilities for marijuana manufacture are regulated by restrictive ordinances so cannabis isn’t grown on every street corner. Cannabis efficiency experts control quality and test for pollutants and pests. Growing cannabis isn’t the same as growing food, so cultivation conditions must be precise.

Tools for Non-Violent & Compassionate Communication in the Workplacehttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/36562-tools-for-non-violent-compassionate-communication-in-the-workplace
No one likes yelling in the workplace! How can you resolve conflicts and get the job done without raised voices?We are all interdependent on one another. We have to treat each other like people in the workplace. Tasks are important, but people must work together to get the work done.

We want a happy workplace. People want acknowledgment for good work, purpose, a sense of belonging, appreciation, compassion and trust. Innovation and creativity flourish in this environment. Fear doesn’t help growth.

Aspects of Non-Violent Communication

What are you observing versus what are you evaluating? What exactly is happening is the observation. Imposed beliefs and assumptions are the evaluation. Own your applied evaluation. Your prejudices and ways of thinking may add unnecessary meaning to a situation. Maybe your co-worker didn’t say hello because he didn’t hear you, not because he is angry with you.

Recognize “us versus them” or “me versus you” in the workplace. All departments have their own agendas and handoffs aren’t always seamless. Interconnectedness is important. There’s an opportunity to improve morale and ease of communication.

Listen for the commitment behind the complaint. What are we committed to? Those commitments are common, shared needs. Problem solving can take place when we pay attention to the business goals we share.

We have shared needs with our co-workers, bosses and employees. Get to know the people in your workplace. We are all human.

Aspects of Non-Violent Communication What are you observing versus what are you evaluating? What exactly is happening is the observation. Imposed beliefs and assumptions are the evaluation. Own your applied evaluation. Your prejudices and ways of thinking may add unnecessary meaning to a situation. Maybe your co-worker didn’t say hello because he didn’t hear you, not because he is angry with you. Recognize “us versus them” or “me versus you” in the workplace. All departments have their own agendas and handoffs aren’t always seamless. Interconnectedness is important. There’s an opportunity to improve morale and ease of communication. Listen for the commitment behind the complaint. What are we committed to? Those commitments are common, shared needs. Problem solving can take place when we pay attention to the business goals we share. We have shared needs with our co-workers, bosses and employees. Get to know the people in your workplace. We are all human. Listen as Darshana Patel joins Dr. Holly Lucille to share how to smooth things out and improve communications in the workplace.

Many factors contribute to depression.Medicine is more than a covenant with patients.

There are three major components to medicine: art, science and business. The art of medicine is the relationship between patients and physicians. The science is the research and treatment. The business is how money is exchanged.

The health system seems a bit disjointed. The provider is currently disengaged because the business side is focused on productivity and transactions. Relationships and interactions with patients are the reasons providers went into healthcare.

Meaningful relationships with patients lead to higher satisfaction, lower costs and better results. Electronic health records should focus on the patient, not on making business transactions easier.

Patients need to be engaged partners in healthcare.

This doesn’t address the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of the condition. These tips can help.

The foundation of health is composed of diet, sleep, exercise and stress management.

Examine your thoughts, emotions and how you react in the world.

Consider the quality of air, food and water you consume. Toxins may be affecting your health, setting off genetic conditions.

You have neuroplasticity and can change your thoughts.

Spirituality embraces love and compassion for yourself. How do you feel about you?

Lab tests and symptoms should both be considered to find the diagnosis.

Encore Episode: Fight or Flight: Improve Your Responses to Stresshttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/36310-encore-episode-fight-or-flight-improve-your-responses-to-stress
What kinds of stress are good for you? How can you improve your response to the stress that isn't good for you?Stress used to be a survival response to danger.

Our modern pressures have redefined the term. Stress now comes from demands on our resources. The demand versus personal capacity is the issue. We have to manage the proportions so we feel less pressure. Stress is a stimulus for change.

Tame stress comes from the nervous tension of doing something you can easily tackle. Maybe you get nervous before giving a speech, but you know exactly what you’re doing. You have the resources you need to deal with the stress. It could be reclassified as excitement.

Tolerable stress is more uncomfortable, but you still have the resources to bounce back. It’s not the kind of pressure you want to experience, but you can deal with it. Tolerable stress can provide you with valuable life lessons.

Toxic stress comes from being in the fight or flight response too often, or the body freezes because the stress hormones are overstimulated. Pressures need to be adjusted, because the immune system is suffering.

Find out what is triggering the stressful feelings in you. Learn to appreciate the fact that you have resources. Look for the lesson in each stressful situation. The adjustment to deal with the pressure can be small. Seek what you can control in your life so your action can utilize your stress hormones for benefit.

Stress-Proof Yourself & Become More Resilienthttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/36040-stress-proof-yourself-become-more-resilient
Learn how to deal with stress so you can be more resilient.Everyone is stressed. You expect stress in the office. The interconnectedness of today’s society leads to additional stress.

But, did you know social stress can shrink part of the brain?

Studies have shown that removing stress leads to brain recovery. Your brain is typically goal-directed, focusing on completing activities for best survival. When you are hit with an acute stress, it becomes stimulus-driven and urges you to overcome an issue in this instant. If your brain is stimulus-driven too frequently or too intensely, it changes its configuration to operate in an environment that is stressful. The brain can recover with a change of environment.

Our individual sources of stress are different. No two people are affected by stress the same way. Find the technique to battle stress that works best for you.

Tips for Addressing Stress

Give your emotional circuits a break when you’re stressed. Don’t prolong your stress response by flopping down in a chair and stewing over it. Engage in an activity that takes your attention so you achieve self-control. Revisit the cause of stress when you’ve recovered, if it is useful to you.

If you are in a stressed state, you don’t have as much control over your cortisol levels. Your emotional circuits take the wheel. You only pick up the social cues that are negative. Recognize what is happening and try to spot positive social cues as well.

A brisk walk can help decrease your cortisol. You don’t have to engage in an intense workout immediately following a stressful event. This may help calm you down. Save the heavy workouts for other days to keep your body from being overstressed.

If you are in a stressed state, you don’t have as much control over your cortisol levels. Your emotional circuits take the wheel. You only pick up the social cues that are negative. Recognize what is happening and try to spot positive social cues as well. A brisk walk can help decrease your cortisol. You don’t have to engage in an intense workout immediately following a stressful event. This may help calm you down. Save the heavy workouts for other days to keep your body from being overstressed.

But, your busy lifestyle may displace your sleep priority.

Catching up on your sleep on the weekend may not be as beneficial as you think. Social jet lag occurs when you stay up late and try to sleep late. Shifting your sleep clock by more than 30 minutes or an hour can make you feel sleep deprived when you shift your bedtime back. It’s like having jet lag in your own time zone.

Adults usually need between seven and nine hours sleep per night. Teens need eight to ten hours sleep per night because the body needs rest as it grows. The sleep clock is the last thing to mature.

Promoting Meaningful Healthcare Reformhttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/35458-promoting-meaningful-healthcare-reform
What would it take for a national healthcare system to work?American healthcare is mired in controversy. Finding affordable healthcare for pre-existing conditions is a great concern for the population.

Mandatory healthcare costs don’t necessarily appeal to the healthy uninsured. Young, healthy individuals aren’t all inclined to subsidize healthcare costs for folks who are ailing. Those enrolled in the government option are often plagued with illness or aren’t old enough for Medicare coverage.

A system that empowers and incentivizes everyone to take charge of their own healthcare might make a government-mandated healthcare system more effective.

Reducing Pollution in the Homehttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/35456-reducing-pollution-in-the-home
Are the toxins in your home contributing to your health issues?Chronic health issues are on the rise, despite technological and scientific advances.

Environmental toxins can contribute to these chronic health disorders. Low level exposure over time leads to build-up within the body.

Home should be a comfortably place, a retreat from the stressors of the world. You must take action to keep it healthy by reducing environmental toxins.

Common Home Pollutants

PM 2.5 (fine particulate matter). This is a key outdoor pollutant that is also generated indoors. It's stored in soft goods like bedding, curtains and furniture.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). The concentration is 20 times greater indoors than outdoors. Formaldehyde is a VOC and is present in pressed wood products.

Nitrogen Dioxide. Gas stoves emit nitrogen dioxide when used. If you do not have and use a vented stove fan, your home may have elevated nitrogen dioxide levels.

Reducing Your Exposure

Learn some tips for detoxification and how it can improve your health.If your health throws you a curve ball, maybe it's time to eat clean.

Eating "clean" means eating whole foods. It doesn’t mean you have to prepare multi-step gourmet meals. It can be very simple. Meals with few ingredients can fuel your body and help you heal.

But, you have to start reading labels and advocate for your own health.

Tips for Detoxifying Your Body:

Eat organic.

Cut out caffeine.

Eliminate added sugars.

Eat to support the liver.

Use an infrared sauna.

Ease your nervous system. Breathe deeply and relax.

Retrain your body to enjoy natural flavors. Citrus zest and fresh herbs and spices can help you create tasty foods. Banana, avocado and coconut milk can add creaminess without dairy or soy. Seek out an amazing sea salt and delicious freshly-ground pepper to season your food.

How Advertising Influences Your Prescription Choiceshttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/35236-how-advertising-influences-your-prescription-choices
How does advertising influence your prescription drug choices? Does it also impact your physician's recommendations?Marketing of the medical industry can be confusing and seductive.

Many marketers and agencies use a consumer branding model when promoting healthcare brands. Consumer goods are marketed as a celebration of the buying process. “The world must know about this new thing I bought!”

This is how fancy beverages, smartphones and cars are marketed.

Healthcare products are intended as a protection of self. You don’t want to get sick or deal with unpleasant and embarrassing side effects. Some healthcare products are promoted as a celebration of freedom from the mucus monster or a love of a laxative. That doesn’t really match the treatment patients want.

People want relief that’s discreet, responsible and professional. Curiously, brands don’t always trust customers to follow medical advice for diet and exercise to help treat a condition. Sometimes, the active agent in the drug is so high, that the patient can lie about giving up cheeseburgers and working out three times a week but still have apparent improvement. The dosage may be too high for a patient who actually does more than just take the drug to improve the condition.

Most information physicians get about drugs is from manufacturers. They get clinical studies and marketing pieces to inform them about new products. The doctors don’t personally use the brands unless they have those conditions. Marketing appeals to how the doctors can promote their own personal brand of care to patients. Some drugs are marketed to fit into the progressive practice. Others appeal to the practice that is trusted and dependable.

Patients should seek a reputable third-party source for information on drugs of interest. Web MD and Mayo Clinic give comparisons and drug facts. Associations who treat specific conditions may also have information in their online communities.

Wholehearted Livinghttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/35235-wholehearted-living
You have to care for your internal health as much as you do your external health.Thanks to technology, we are all connected.

Why, then, are we so stressed, overweight, and disconnected in our personal relationships?

It’s time to examine how we’re living.

Living Whole

You can be fit yet unhealthy. There’s more to health than just eating well and working out. Burning the candle at both ends taxes the adrenal glands. You have to take care of yourself. You shouldn’t need all that coffee to start the day and all that wine to end the day.

Ground yourself. Spend some time being mindful and getting focused. Set your intention each morning, and examine how it worked out in the evening. Validate a job well done.

How can you create meaningful, personal communications, instead of misunderstanding each other with your texts and emails? We’re constantly on the prowl for connection and acceptance with social media shares, statuses and likes. Pick up the telephone or speak with people in-person to prevent miscommunication.

Improve your relationship with yourself. Look at the attitudes you have toward yourself. Work on that connection. Stop being a stranger to yourself.

Better Posture for Better Healthhttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/35146-better-posture-for-better-health
Realigning your posture may reduce chronic pain and improve your health.Posture is the interpretation of external sensory stimuli on the body’s musculature.

Childhood InfluenceNot all women have pelvic bones that are well-aligned. This leads to difficulty in the delivery room, which can cause misalignment in babies.

It’s best to let your child improve sensory input by allowing freedom of mobility. Avoid putting him in shoes (when possible) until the age of three.

Recognizing Poor PostureIf you’ve seen more than one professional for back, joint or neck pain, your posture needs improvement. Head tilting is another compensation for bad posture. Your shoes or pants may not wear out evenly, indicating you may have a postural disequilibrium.

Fixing Your PostureRepetitive motion like walking is built on movement patterns. Your body is used to moving this way, and your brain needs to be retrained.

Stem cell therapy may help heal pained areas of your body.Stem cell therapy involves taking your own material (fat or bone marrow) and injecting it back into your own pained areas.

Stem cells have the potential to become a specific type of body cell, based on where in the body they're injected. For instance, they can recreate cartilage and ligaments.

Fight or Flight: Improve Your Responses to Stresshttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/35034-fight-or-flight-improve-your-responses-to-stress
What kinds of stress are good for you? How can you improve your response to the stress that isn't good for you?Stress used to be a survival response to danger.

Our modern pressures have redefined the term. Stress now comes from demands on our resources. The demand versus personal capacity is the issue. We have to manage the proportions so we feel less pressure. Stress is a stimulus for change.

Consider your stress at three levels:

Tame stress comes from the nervous tension of doing something you can easily tackle. Maybe you get nervous before giving a speech, but you know exactly what you’re doing. You have the resources you need to deal with the stress. It could be reclassified as excitement.

Tolerable stress is more uncomfortable, but you still have the resources to bounce back. It’s not the kind of pressure you want to experience, but you can deal with it. Tolerable stress can provide you with valuable life lessons.

Toxic stress comes from being in the fight or flight response too often, or the body freezes because the stress hormones are overstimulated. Pressures need to be adjusted, because the immune system is suffering.

Find out what is triggering the stressful feelings in you. Learn to appreciate the fact that you have resources. Look for the lesson in each stressful situation. The adjustment to deal with the pressure can be small. Seek what you can control in your life so your action can utilize your stress hormones for benefit.

Talk to your loved ones about end-of-life planning.It’s hard to say goodbye to a loved one. It’s even harder when they seem to suffer in their final days.

Patients don’t want to die badly, meaning they don’t want to die in a way they wouldn’t have chosen if they had time to prepare. Every individual has preferences, values and morals. Most people want to be cognitively and emotionally themselves, not attached to breathing machines.

Education and communication can end dying badly. Speak about death with your family, and consider what to do if something unplanned occurred. Talk to your doctor. Have a plan in place so you don’t enter the end-of-life conveyor belt of tubes and machines if that doesn’t appeal to you.

You know you need to make a change but your attempts are met with failure. Are you sabotaging yourself?You know you need to make a change but your attempts are met with failure. Are you sabotaging yourself?

There are many resources available at your fingertips to help you achieve your goals.

You probably have a good idea of what you should be doing. You also likely have an idea of what you shouldn’t be doing.

But, you’re not making things happen for yourself. What gives?

You have to get out of your own way. Self sabotage is the drive toward negative things. You have to come to terms with that knowledge in order to overcome it.

While there are conscious things you’re doing to sabotage yourself, some acts are happening on an unconscious level. You don’t recognize those factors until after the fact.

Develop self awareness. Know that you want it. Notice what drives you toward negative behavior and away from your goals. You have to be aware of it to gain control over it. See if your behavior consistently leads to negative results.

Ending Self Sabotage

First, stop being frustrated with yourself. Don’t ask why you keep doing this. There’s no reason to marvel at it like it’s a surprise that you’re sabotaging yourself. To solve the problem of self sabotage, just look at what you’re doing.

Second, recognize you’re doing it. Find the part of yourself that wants to move toward the pro-survival goal.

Finally, work through the sabotaging behavior. Once you recognize what you do, it’s easier to spot.

Epigenetics & Nutrigenomics: Choose Your Own Health Pathhttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/34771-epigenetics-nutrigenomics-choose-your-own-health-path
Learn how you can influence your own genetic expression and reduce risk for hereditary chronic conditions.Epigenetics is the study of how lifestyle and environment can influence the expression of genes.

The choices you make today can affect your own health and the health of future generations.

You can’t change your natural hair color, height and foot size. Epigenetics focuses on the things you CAN change, like being overweight, anxiety and chronic health conditions.

You may carry a genetic code that predisposes you to a condition. You have the power to prevent those conditions from expressing themselves.

Nutrigenomics is the science of the relationship between genetic expression, nutrition and health. It’s a personalized approach to your diet.

The Internet is a wonderful resource for more information on these topics, but make sure you examine resources that are evidence-based and research-based. Don’t just base your diet off a Facebook post your friend shared.

Pharma's Profit vs. People: Beware Dangerous Prescription Medshttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/34770-pharma-s-profit-vs-people-beware-dangerous-prescription-meds
It's crucial to learn about the side effects of medications so you can best manage your own health.Pharmaceutical companies may not expect some of the side effects resulting from their medications.

When the side effects appear, do they choose to put profits before people?

When you consider the standard minute-length list of side effects disclosed in drug commercials, it would seem like those effects have been silently accepted by the public and physicians. Information that goes to the FDA for approval should be reviewed two years later and beyond. Some side effects don’t become apparent until years after initial FDA approval, up to five years later.

How can you protect yourself and your family members?

Spend some time with your doctor to discuss the side effects of any prescription medications. Ask for the product handout and read the black box warning. Educate yourself by researching the drug on the Internet.

You are your best health advocate. Your doctor can prescribe and recommend, but you are the one who is responsible for what goes in your body.

Patients Educating Doctors: Do's & Don'tshttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/34740-patients-educating-doctors-do-s-and-don-ts
How do you talk to your doctor about an alternative treatment?It’s important for your doctor to listen to you during your visit.

You have to be ready for an uphill trip if you have a treatment in mind to discuss with your doctor. Doctors are trained to treat patients with what they’ve learned. They aren’t always aware of alternative treatments.

How Not to Shut Down Your Doctor

Don’t say you found all the information on an alternative treatment on the Internet. It comes off as a Google medical education.

Don’t reference that you heard something in the media.

How to Talk to Your Doctor

Educate yourself on the treatment and side effects. You can only convince your doctor you’ve really considered the treatment if you’re educated about it.

Choose the best information to share with your doctor. Use the pieces that are most convincing and most scholarly for presentation to your doctor.

Your doctor may mention there haven’t been double-blind studies. Prepare to have information from university studies.

Assemble all of your information in a binder or folder. Bring it to your appointment to present, but don’t expect your doctor to read everything.

Ask your doctor to review the information and ask if you can discuss at a future appointment. Respectfully ask for your doctor’s opinion.

Your doctor may still be uncomfortable prescribing alternative treatment. Don't get upset. Ask if he would still be comfortable being your doctor if you find another provider to prescribe the alternative treatment.

Promoting a National Culture of Wellnesshttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/34726-promoting-a-national-culture-of-wellness
How can we improve health and healthcare for all Americans?We have a narrowly defined wellness culture, primarily consisting of the middle class and affluent population.

Why is chronic illness on the rise? Why is it so hard to meet the simplest of health goals?

Most Americans are struggling for survival within the context of a highly stressful, materially oriented, high performance focused society. They don’t take the time for self-care with diet, exercise and enjoyment of the qualitative aspects of life.

Health defaults to the medical system. We expect our doctors and hospitals to just fix the things that are going wrong.

Making Changes

Speak up and demand the healthcare system improve health promotion. Teaching people important tools for optimal health can improve quality of life.

Government officials should create a call to wellness. The citizens need and deserve a way to change the current healthcare system into a caring system. Everyone should be motivated to embrace a wellness lifestyle.

Apps and wearable devices can help track your health and wellness. Your lifestyle choices also make a huge difference; they're something within your control.

Environmental Influence on Chronic Illnesshttp://radiomd.com/show/mindful-medicine/item/34677-environmental-influence-on-chronic-illness
How can you reduce your exposure to toxins?The average person encounters environmental toxins in every day life. It’s impossible to completely avoid them.

Our bodies are enzyme machines. We need vitamins and minerals for the enzymes to work properly. The nutritional quality of our food supply has decreased in the past 50 years due to modern agricultural procedures. Toxins poison the body’s enzymes so they don’t function properly.

There is a correlation between chronic illnesses and toxin exposure. The majority of the population has been exposed to enough toxins to double the chance for disease.

Seventy percent of our toxic load comes from food. Some toxins come from the food production process. Other toxins come from the packaging process.

Consider how toxins can accumulate in your body over time. Try to reduce your toxic exposure. Stick with organic foods and grow as much food as you can. Look for foods packaged in glass. Avoid fragrances in health and beauty aids.

What wisdom can we take from the ancient Greeks to improve our lives today?The writings and art of ancient Greece show a civilization that seemed to be balanced, relieved of stress, and focused on living life.

And, that focus was on a lifetime, not on a single day’s drama.

Tolerance of other cultures was high. People were accepted the way they were. Common grounds were sought so trade could occur.

The technology level limited medicinal practices. People went to temples when ailing. Treatment was based on lifestyle, including diet, exercise and sleep.

Ancient Greeks had healthy diets. They didn’t have the same stressors driving them to junk food as we do today.

What lessons can we take from the practices of this civilization? Human life isn’t linear. It’s perfectly normal to go through periods of adversity. Things will not stay the same, so remain calm if life doesn't go your way.
